A few missing jobs: FSU's IR position, UNC-Chapel Hill's cross-disciplinary security job, and all of the Elliot School jobs (unless you're intentionally combining all of them plus the polisci job at GW into one listing).

The University of St. Gallen has just put out a job ad for an AP position that may be of interest to some IR folks:

Assistant Professorship in thePolitical Theory of Global Governance, starting April 1, 2011 or by mutual agreement

The appointed candidate will join a recently-created inter-disciplinary research programmeon "Global Democratic Governance" in the School of Economics and Political Science, comprising both established and younger scholars in political science,economics, and international law. Applicants should have a doctorate in political science,a strong research record in either or both normative and empirical research inthe political theory of global governance, and a willingness to collaborate on research with scholars from other fields. Exceptionally qualified candidates from other disciplines will also be considered. The position will initially be filled for three years with the possibility for a single three-year renewal. As the University of St. Gallen seeks toincrease the diversity of its faculty, applications from women are especially welcome.

The appointed candidate is expected to contribute top-ranking research output and initiatives in the fields of the research programme and to teach in English in the International Affairs programme. The ability to speak German is not a prerequisite.

For further information about the position, please contact Prof. Daniele Caramani (email: daniele.caramani@unisg.ch) and visit www.gdg.unisg.ch.

Here is the email. First off, I guess there never is a good way to say you were not selected but starting the message with "Greetings!" is not one of them.

--

Greetings! Our committee spent the last couple of months discussing and deliberating potential colleagues for our open department position. Very much we thank you for considering University of Portland. It was a privilege to include your file in our search but we have decided to hire another candidate who best fits our immediate needs within the department.

We hope that you find other opportunities and successes in the near future.

And here's Reed College's e-mail. They are at the short list stage. It is a bit more gracious than the Portland e-mail:

I am writing to let you know that the Political Science SearchCommittee has selected a short list for the tenure-track position.Although the position has not yet been filled, I am writing to letyou and approximately 300 other people know that you were not amongthe finalists. I do this with regret. We received many applications that demanded our serious consideration. In the end, I hope we succeeded in constructing a list of people whose interests andstrengths best complement those of our small department. I want tothank you for your interest in Reed College. You have our bestwishes for your future career.

Could someone please confirm/provide some information on the UC Irvine IPE hiring decision (or refusal to hire decision)? That seems kind of strange, or is it just me? Why go through the hassle of a job search and refuse to make a hire?

Department of Political Science at the University of Utah invites applications for a tenure-track position. The position is in International Relations and/or Comparative Politics, specializing in International Organizations and the comparative politics of Europe. Closing date is March 18, 2011. See APSA e-jobs for complete listing.

The Graduate School of Public and International Affairs at the University of Pittsburgh has hired Luke Condra and Ryan Grauer in its IR-Security Studies search. Negotiations are in progress with one senior candidate.
